Recently, Microsoft announced its partnership with Open AI’s GPT-4 when it shared a glimpse of its latest cybersecurity innovation, Microsoft Security Copilot. It is a tool that will help security personnel to identify and respond to potential threats with the help of next-generation AI. This tool is still in its pre-launch phase and was shown as a model to the general public during Microsoft’s Secure Event.
Security Copilot is a simple-to-use AI helper for professional security teams that operates by fusing Microsoft’s extensive threat intelligence with industry-leading knowledge and the strength of OpenAI’s GPT-4 generative AI. As per Microsoft, this tool will amplify the security team’s impact and efficiency with intelligent guidance informed by 65 trillion daily signals. This news comes days after Microsoft launched its Microsoft 365 Copilot, which is designed to bring in extensive features in powerful applications like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and more using the help of AI-powered features.
Microsoft took to Twitter to tease its latest addition to its prestigious portfolio. The Microsoft Security Copilot is the first AI security model with the power of relentless AI and a large language model (LLM). This LLM is specifically designed for security purposes, with innovative security skills and knowledge.
Security Copilot is integrated with Microsoft’s high-end security products, and it will soon spread its way to other third-party apps and products. As a security-enabled software, it is believed that privacy will remain at the core of all developments keeping in mind nothing personal is breached, and the data stays in the user’s control.
According to Microsoft, the new security product that will soon be made public has a lot to offer. It has shared some brief descriptions of the product’s features. Holly Stewart, Director of Security Research for Microsoft, says that the Security Copilot is something that the industry has never seen before. She also adds that the Securit Copilot can never always be right and that professionals can always report it to the authority so that people at Microsoft can make it better. Security Copilot helps to simplify and focus on the work in front of a security team.
It can feel like mayhem working in a security operations center, and Security Copilot is the solution to it. This tool can be used by multiple people at once, which will help to stay connected with problems but not make a mess out of them.
The prompt feature present at the center is the place where all the work gets done. Whether it is a problem someone is looking for or a solution, the prompt bar is the place it all starts from. People can also share files, code snippets, or any kind of file and ask for information about that particular file. The prompt bar will tell exactly what you need to know.
Many more features of this tool will help AI become stronger and help the security organization in doing its job. For instance, with Security Copilot, defenders can instantly respond to threats and other security measures within minutes after their occurrence through a natural language-based investigation. This will simplify the complexity and make the problem easier to deal with.
With this tool, security personnel can trace malicious activities and threats that might go unnoticed. This tool will boost the defenders’ skills and help them to easily adapt to enterprise preferences to generate the most accurate path to work. With this tool, the security team can achieve much more and operate with higher capabilities.
As per the latest issues, this tool is only available through private preview. It is soon to be launched in the public space.
